Oxford Student Fined Over "Great Rack" Boast

A row has broken out among the dreaming spires after a student's election campaign was found to have brought the Oxford Union into disrepute.

Madeline Grant, a former model who is studying English Literature and languages at St Hilda's, was standing for a senior post in the Union. On her manifesto she wrote: "I don't hack, I just have a great rack."

The comments were condemned by fellow Union members as "deeply offensive" and she was ordered to appear before a disciplinary committee who fined her £120.

A spokesmand for the Union sniffed: "For the exact findings you will have to wait for the report to come out."

But friends are rallying around the 19-year-old. "If I had a rack like Madeline's, I boast about it too," said Eugenie de Montijo, adding that she is no relation to the celebrated wife of Napoleon the Third and Empress of France from 1853 to 1870.
